About the Gannett Foundation

Gannett Foundation helps to improve lives in the many communities served by Gannett Co., Inc. and beyond. Since its inception, Gannett Foundation has given more than $170 million to thousands of charitable projects across the United States and the United Kingdom.

Gannett employees help Gannett Foundation carry out the Foundation’s goals. They participate in local grant-making review committees, volunteer in their communities and are generous, as evidenced by their charitable contributions and volunteer activities that are matched by Gannett Foundation.
